Sony plans big game launches
Sony on Monday showed off its rich, action-packed new PlayStation 4 video games, some for virtual reality, as it defended its crown as the top-selling new-generation console.
The company focused on blockbuster games and intriguing new titles for PS4 at a press event on the eve of the opening of the major Electronic Entertainment Expo here.
There was no mention of the Xbox One X console unveiled a day earlier by rival Microsoft in a heightened challenge to PS4.
“PlayStation is home to all the biggest and best game franchises in the world,” Sony Interactive Entertainment worldwide studios chairperson Shawn Layden said during a rapid-fire presentation of video trailers.
The line-up included the first 'Uncharted' game to feature a heroine in place of the Nathan Drake hero, a 'God of War' sequel with a mighty father-son theme, and a pulse-pounding title starring Spiderman of Marvel Comics fame.
The event also unveiled a version of the hit fantasy role-playing game 'Skyrim' tailored for play on PlayStation virtual reality gear.
“It's all about gaming,” Layden said.
“Every year, we continue to push the envelope of imagination, storytelling, and technology.”
PlayStation has had success in keeping the focus on gamers and what they like.
PS4 models include a Pro console for powering ultra-high definition 4K graphics, and the entire line of consoles syncs with PlayStation VR gear.
Sony has sold more than 60.4 million PS4 consoles since they hit the market in November of 2013, the company revealed on Monday.
